Lekker Thanks gents. :D now ideas on what to do on Sunday... Swambo wants to wash her car so that's all that's on the agenda so far....

Stuart Baak

Awesome!!! Love the way it sounds! Gonna definitely give that a shot!

Stuart Baak

Okay I am playing delivery man on Sat and heading out Pta way. Are there any out of the way gems to see and possibly go for lunch and an ice cold one with swambo? Nature/view/authentic type places to experience?

Would really appreciate it! I don't just want to go to the botanical gardens...

Stuart Baak

So from this weekend which was not too eventful due to pre-arrangements, however we did try a new place for Sunday afternoon early dinner/late lunch. The place is in Fourways, in the shopping centre across from Montecasino on Witkoppen. It's called Rockomamas and it is a burger place, but not your t...

Plenty different brekki places to choose from.

Ah Lekker! Must check it out!

Stuart Baak

Not a bad idea. To the mine there? I hear it's quite good.

Dankie en Flippen Loud! Bouncing hilux!

Was thinking of starting the Fred, and now I have. My intention is to gather information on those quaint, awesome gems one finds on the weekend. Spots to see, places to eat that are not of the likes of McDonald's etc... Myself and the Missus like to explore on weekends. I personally cannot sit insid...

Stuart Baak

Here are some more pics as requested ;)

Stuart Baak

Just called my local Stealers. They want R699.90 for a diff lock switch... I want oem so it looks as part of the car. Must maybe go visit some scrap yards.

Stuart Baak

Howdy Shimano, The interior looks exactly the same bar 2 things. The radio has changed, and there are now tweeters in the front door black plastic thing. I'll happily take pics. I myself cannot reach the subwoofer to even take a pic without having to rip the back seats out :) will take tonight and p...

Stuart Baak

Thanks man, so far it's awesome. But that running-in period of the speakers is painstaking.

Stuart Baak

Hmm perhaps I should make a trip to my local auto electric shop (aka magicians) and see if they can do it. Anyone got a spare Vigo switch lying about? Don't much feel like sponsoring the Stealers boss's lunch with their prices

Stuart Baak

Hi donkey, I would imagine theyre in Rms. Alot of guys run it this way, even my old Rockford punch system was wired the same. If/when I upgrade to a dual sub I'll add in a mono amp for it and just run F&R components off the Alpine.

Stuart Baak

My only concern would be the voltage/amps/current/magic going through the switch. The starter must pull quite a heavy voltage/amps/current/magic

Stuart Baak

I have an auto diesel vigo, is there no way to put in a relay to the starter motor and run it through an incognito switch on the dash (like a OEM switch for anything like a diff lock switch) ? I am no auto elec, but to me it makes sense that if there is no power to the motor that turns over the engi...

Stuart Baak

Some pics. It was scary watching them effortlessly rip apart the cab...

Stuart Baak

I don’t know about you guys but I believe that the sound system in the Vigo is terrible (As most standard sound systems are) Seeing as though we spend so much time in the vehicle travelling etc, I decided to upgrade my Sound system. I have had sound systems in my previous vehicles and it just makes ...

Stuart Baak

I know this is a nitro thread, but I have a 4wd petrol 28cc RC 1/5th scale that I bought for 10k last year, drove it maybe 6 times (I did roll it once...Its fast!) and now it's just gathering dust. Willing to part with it for about 7k ONCO negotiable in Fourways Jhb. Don't have time for it anymore. ...

Stuart Baak

The switches look a bit like these:

Edit: And I have attached mine that is fitted, took the pic this morning

No problem at all ;)

Stuart Baak

Cool, no worries. Their number is 011 317 8888. Ask for the accessories fitment people. They have different emblems and they fit directly into the OEM holes in the dash

Stuart Baak

The bar was just under R3k, (Ironman 60W). I looked at installing it under the bar, but with the mounting brackets I have, it would not have looked as good as it does. Yours looks good below the bar!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks Stu, mine could only be fitted below due to the Legend 4...

Stuart Baak

Thanks very much for the compliments!! At the moment, the LED bar switches on with the high beam. I would like to put a switch in. I saw on the forum once someone had a switch much like the original switches that fit in the spaces provided next to the diff lock or between the Aux 12v socket and cig...

Stuart Baak

Nice one, I fitted mine below the bar!

Stuart Baak

Haha was up at 6 already

Stuart Baak

I don't normally need but after today, Eish. Would love one. Anyways finally home. Lekker slaap!

Stuart Baak

Haha my Afrikaanse side is sleeping... Meant slaap

Stuart Baak

Lekker. Wish I had a cold one in hand right about now

Stuart Baak

Al die manne dors nog! :)

Stuart Baak

Another late nighter at the office... Now that's how you get financials reported in 2 days... ;) anyone else still earning their bread money this evening?

Stuart Baak

Haha when you gotta wait 10 min for an excel spreadsheet to process and calculate, you gotta kill some time with a wee bit of addiction relief!

Stuart Baak

Ma: "Twikkie, waar is die speaker vir die surround dinges?" twikkie: "ek weetie ma, maar ek is besig met my corolla! Gooi 'n nog 'n brandy en coke en check jou generations! Los my net! " Hier kom die ma om te kyk wat sy seun doen... Ma: "tsjoe my seun, daai corolla van joune...

Stuart Baak

Ja baie mooi! Wish I was in Alot of them (except dealing with the bride... Eish access denied after that one!)

Stuart Baak

Not quite late, but late at work - gotta love month end and deadlines!

Stuart Baak

I saw the supaquick only on Sunday afternoon.... Top late for shopping. But on my to-do list. Even told swambo about them!

Stuart Baak

Stuart Baak

If I pop past a supaquick this weekend I'll Def buy a set for myself and SWAMBO

Stuart Baak

Gonna have to wait for the roof console unfortunately. And that means radio too. :O

-F_D

Surely one can simply replace dome light wires with more suitable, thicker wires? So to avoid an additional wire?

Stuart Baak

Lekkerrrr thanks! Nou waar het jy dit gekoop? ;) en hoeveel ;)

Stuart Baak

Thanks Subok!

Stuart Baak

Sooooo, roof console from ONCA is R4k+ no pic on website (I have requested it via epos) so not sure if it has the radio mount hole... Anyone else install a roof console? Maybe I must just import one from Australia?

Stuart Baak

I saw the 30 year set at Cape union mart in Eastgate GP. But probably for a daylight robbery of a price (I didn't even bother to look)

Stuart Baak

Oh also, where did you purchase it? :D

Stuart Baak

Yebo yes. Do you have any pics of the roof console for the DC? How is it mounted? Any additional holes to be drilled?

Stuart Baak

Thanks a mil! Yes a new set of shoes will be in the pipeline but that is long term. Still Alot of tread left on the current boots!

Stuart Baak

Where do you guys buy yours?

Stuart Baak

I will soon to be buying a mobile VHF, but looking at the dash of my 2011 Vigo I simply cannot see where a good place will be without removing the radio for single din, lessening the legroom on my passenger side or mine. So those that have done it, please tell us where and if possible post pics. Wil...

Okay so the tint has been Redone, Motorsonic in Edenvale did it for me for R1254.00 incl stripping of The old rubbish tint. Originally had it booked in at "Fourways car security" but they messed me around. So called Motorsonic, they could accommodate me immediately, great service and cheap...

Stuart Baak

Awesome! I also just bought the Legend 40 d4d 3.0 (auto) :D happy driving! They are awesome! Mine is white though! :D

Stuart Baak

Thanks Froll! :)

Stuart Baak

That hi lift jack brace is a great idea! Will have to look into that ;)
